Of all postings, I've not seen the topic of the "grand settlement" made by the Sears CEO in early 2017. That out-of-court settlement, which has been published and is a matter of public record, involved $40 million dollars. It essentially settled (in part) several lawsuits initiated by Sears board members or investors, who had significant concerns with Sears Holdings (SHC) and the (reportedly) self-serving investments of the Sears CEO. While the public simply doesn't want to shop any longer at the obviously-dated Sears stores, most notably because of a significant quantity of shoddy (imported) merchandise on Sears' shelves, along with the tiring task of actually finding a Sears Store employee when needed; the huge amount of the settlement could have been avoided and directed elsewhere. Such as, eliminating the Sears exploitation of lower-paid and valuable employees. Anyway, the demise of Sears is simply no more than an eyelash in the eye -- you just buy some Visine and move on. Eventually, your vision clears and the eye incident is forgotten.
